Be a Teacher Program

This continuing program to attract students of exceptional ability to consider teaching as a career was begun by HEA in 1991. It includes grants and awards and cooperates with the Hawaii State Department of Education. HEA welcomes financial assistance from future partners in this effort.

Hawaii Alliance for Future Teachers (HAFT)

HEA joined in partnership with HAFT to establish a Teacher Cadet Program. The program consists of high school and college-level courses, designed to encourage high school students to choose teaching as a career.

Scholarships

Each year HEA awards scholarships to individuals (and their children) who have been members of HEA for a full year or longer. Applications may be requested from guidance counselors and school administrators in public and private schools throughout the state, and from financial aid officers at Hawaii's colleges and universities. Forms and information is also available from HEA.

HEA also awards several endowed scholarships including the Faith C. Ai Lai and the May and Hubert Everly Scholarships.
